Long Beach is outside of Los Angeles and close to Hollywood! It’s not too late to sign up for the Western Users of SAS Software (WUSS) conference in Long Beach, CA the same week as Labor Day (Sept 5 -7).

Here’s a picture of the folks who took the SAS BI Content and Admin exams. These three fellows were some of the ones who made sure I knew that the Building Business Intelligence with SAS book was helpful. Thanks Chris Dillion (@CMDillon) for supplying the study group with the book. Paul Dutton passed the exam in 12 minutes. He said his key was reading the […]
